Chairman of British Freedom Party arrested for Facebook comment. He criticised the religion of Islam which is apparently not allowed in the UK. Here’s what he said: “They are all backward savages, a devil-spawned death-cult worshipping all that is unholy and barbaric. Pure evil.” Mild stuff compared to what Piers Morgan says about American gun owners, wot?

GO, MICHIGAN STATE !
Very interesting — the University is standing by their professor and not bowing down to special interest groups!

Professor Wichman E-mail
Claim: A Michigan professor sent an e-mail telling Muslim students to leave the country.
Status: True.
The story begins at Michigan State University with a mechanical engineering professor named Indred Wichman.

Wichman sent an e-mail to the Muslim Student’s Association.
The e-mail was in response to the students’ protest of the Danish cartoons that portrayed the Prophet Muhammad as a terrorist.
The group had complained the cartoons were ‘hate speech.’
============
Enter Professor Wichman.
==========================================
In his e-mail, he said the following:
===============================
Dear Muslim Association,
As a professor of Mechanical Engineering here at MSU I intend to protest your protest.
I am offended not by cartoons, but by more mundane things like beheadings of civilians, cowardly attacks on public buildings, suicide murders, murders of Catholic priests (the latest in Turkey), burnings of Christian churches, the continued persecution of Coptic Christians in Egypt, the imposition of Sharia law on non-Muslims, the rapes of Scandinavian girls and women (called ‘whores’ in your culture), the murder of film directors in Holland, and the rioting and looting in Paris France.
This is what offends me, a soft-spoken person and academic, and many, many of my colleagues. I counsel you dissatisfied, aggressive, brutal, and uncivilized slave-trading Muslims to be very aware of this as you proceed with your infantile ‘protests.’
If you do not like the values of the West – see the First Amendment – you are free to leave. I hope for God’s sake that most of you choose that option.
Please return to your ancestral homelands and build them up yourselves instead of troubling Americans.
Cordially,
I. S. Wichman
Professor of Mechanical Engineering
=============================
As you can imagine,
The Muslim group at the university didn’t like this too well.
They’re demanding that Wichman be reprimanded, that the university impose mandatory diversity training for faculty,
And mandate a seminar on hate and discrimination for all freshmen.
Now, the local chapter of CAIR has jumped into the fray.
CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, apparently doesn’t believe that the good professor
Had the right to express his opinion.
==========
For its part, the university is standing its ground in support of Professor Wichman,
Saying the e-mail was private, and they don’t intend to publicly condemn his remarks.
============================================================
Send this to your friends, and ask them to do the same.
Tell them to keep passing it around until the whole country gets it.
We are in a war.
This political correctness crap is getting old and killing us.
==================

Here are some lyrics from the song “Green and Pleasant Land” by Pendragon (old-styled art-rockers from England) off their latest album “Passion.” Utterly knocked me back when I heard Nick sing it:

It’s beyond my comprehension this kind of sacrifice
So many gave themselves up
And in the end so many would fall
It’s not legal to say what I think anymore
Cos I don’t believe in sharia law
But I can honestly say we’ve pissed it up the wall

Many of the lefties would love to arrest the politically incorrect in this country under the guise of hate speech. Believe it or not, I don’t think criminalizing speech has much of a chance in this country because Hollywood and many liberals would be in an uproar. I could be wrong, though. How ridiculous that there isn’t true freedom of speech in Europe or Canada.

What I don’t understand is why truth isn’t a defense against any kind of hate speech accusation. If Islam really is a devil-spawned death cult, for which a good case can be made, then they have a law forbidding the truth.

Liberals often don’t believe in truth. They are of the spirit of Pontius Pilate in John 18:38:”What is truth?” Liberals are relativists and yet are absolutists about their relativism. Relativism eventually leads to totalitarianism. If you speak against a favored group like muslims, you can be punished. If you speak against an unfavored group like Christians, conservatives, or men, you probably won’t be punished. The current Pope, Benedict XVI, has said that in much of the world including the United States and Europe, a “dictatorship of relativism” is being formed which may punish anyone who insists the “truth” can be known. “and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free (Jn 8:32).”
